WEDNESDAY OCT. 23

SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY[DANCE] In 2 One Another, a
flashing LED light show backs Australia’s leader in contemporary dance.
The piece has won choreography and performance awards down under, and
the 16 dancers move with both athletic energy and subtlety as they
embody the possibilities of human interaction. Though at first glance it
recalls the spectacle of a rave, it’s inspired by a poem by Samuel
Webster. Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway, 245-1600. 7:30 pm. $26-$64.

THURSDAY OCT. 24

STEPHEN JIMENEZ[BOOKS] Stephen Jimenez’s new book, The Book of Matt,
explores the 1998 murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard in
Wyoming, claiming that Shepard was not killed for being gay but for more
complicated reasons involving meth and money. Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., 228-4651. 7:30 pm. Free.

FRIDAY OCT. 25

MODERN KIN[MUSIC] With his band the Pastors’ Wives,
Portland’s Drew Grow built a reputation for writing idiosyncratic
folk-rock with a penchant for coming completely unglued live. Now he’s
starting over with a new name and an intense, stripped-back new album.
Grow is staging a release show consisting of seven sets in 24 hours, all
streamed live on YouTube. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., 288-3895. 9 pm. $10. 21+.

BEST $10 BLIND WINE TASTING[WINE] With a low-cost cover and
reasonably priced contenders, this is a wine event for the proletariat.
It also takes place at one of the city’s oldest wine shops. Woodstock Wine & Deli, 4030 SE Woodstock Ave., 777-2208. 6-9 pm. $10. 21+.

SATURDAY OCT. 26

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE[THEATER] Theatre Vertigo, which ended up
homeless when Southeast Belmont’s Theater! Theatre! closed last spring,
begins its first season at the itsy-bitsy Shoebox Theater with a
seasonally appropriate show: Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of the spooky
tale about a doctor with split personalities. In an intriguing twist,
four actors share the role of Hyde. The Shoebox Theater, 2110 SE 10th Ave., 306-0870. 7:30 pm. $20.
